Now that I have got some things in my personal life kind of in order, we are back on track!

Last night I did some cardio on my Stationary Bike, as well as worked what seems like every muscle in my body. I made this workout, and my cardio (since Im starting fresh again) is currently at 6 minutes (1 min ea warm up/cool down and 4 minutes of 20/10 second intervals). Everything feels fine today but my neck - I fuckered it up REAL Good.

I need to keep reminding myself this. I actually got a tattoo on my wrist, so its always in my field of vision, and It can always remind me that I can be whoever I want to be, as long as I keep going.

Today is a new day!

Weight Loss Tracker - Satchel Edition

So, I've been bored. That is to say, I was on my lunch hour and I GOT bored, and I glanced over at my weight loss tracker (which is remarkably phallic, truth be known) and wished for a moment that I could have a cooler pic up there. Now, have you ever had one of those moments, where your mind goes, "Wouldn't it be cool if....."? Well, I had one of those moments than answered myself, "Why not?"

I give you Weight Loss Tracker, the Satchel Edition.

Now, I am less than a whiz with Photoshop - so no critics. The idea is that you get to fill in Satchels guitar with color as you progress :)

Use it, abuse it, please give me credit if posted elsewhere, and PLEASE for the love of god don't post it on Steel Panthers page - I'm still to fat to deal with that shit yet :)

Game on.

Starting picture.

So I am at a point in my *DR MANDATED* low fiber diet, that i can start phasing in cooked fruits and veggies. I only lost 3-4 lbs in the last month (from when the dietician weighed me in her office), which is a bit of a letdown for me. However, she insists that this is great progress given my current menu.

I was getting super tired during the day, so I am now having to have a snack of either yogurt, or peanut butter on bread before bed to keep my energy levels up during the day. I was pretty bummed because it means an increase in my caloric intake, but at least it means that my gut is healing - which is good news for my health.

I have not been exercising as much as I should. Only once or twice a week. Bedtimes have been later than I would like as of late for various reasons, which has also zapped my energy supply. Since this is the main aspect that I have the most control over at the moment, I am going to try to re-emphasize the exercise aspect with myself. At the bare minimum, make it a point everyday to do a weight session and crunches.

In this endeavor I am posting a starting (as of today, 5 minutes ago) picture of myself. As of this morning I weighed 204.6 lbs.

I dont like to say 'before' picture. Before what? This is a starting picture. This is what I look like now, on my nasty low fiber diet, doing absolutely minimal exercise.

Lets see where we end up.

Healthy Fast Food!

So, little did I know that El Pollo Loco actually has some pretty darn awesome healthy choices!! Check this out: Mango Taco Plate. Its super healthy (Clocks in at around 350 cal), tastes great ("Tastes Great, Less Filling!") and most importantly is fresh and I can grab it and go.

Its important for me to have some grab and go options out there, because lets face it - I'm a lazy mother fucker. Whole Foods Deli isle is my friend.

Carry on.

Twitter and various crap

I had a long post written. It was eloquent, and meaningfull......everything you want in a written piece of art. Unfortunatly my app died and I lost it. Bottom line : I now have a twitter. If you stumble across this or that feel free to follow, but im not knocking myself out about followers until my life evens out and im more on track. @metalberries berries......like boobs........some  fucker stole strawberrymetal. Anyways, go watch the new video for fucking Steel Panther, Burden Of Being Wonderful. They should leave us presents like that every morning, its better than the money I found on my dresser last time.
